As a Norwegian Social Research Council (NAVF) stipendiate in three years in the period 1984-89 I undertook a study of early historical family and gender systems, economy and work organization, titled Pair Relationship Changes (Samlivsendring). The project, originally conceived as a purely sociological study, developed into a huge historical-sociological project, later developed on part-time basis. Four large note books / unpublished draft working papers exist, containing notes, comments and empirical discussions. The project included extended library research and a three months archeological study travel in Greece and Anatolia, 1986).

1985a: “Artemis” (In English, 336 p. 1985). This is a survey of traditions and context of the most popular female Greek deity, with notes on the historical change of the goddess image and evidence of early connections to Anatolian and Hittite deities, as well as material on the lives and customs of women.

1987d: ”Tribute and Empire” (200 p., 1987). This is a preliminary notebook on Middle East developments 2000-1200 BC focusing on the changing economic categories of dependency. Translations of tablet material from Kanesh (Assyrian traders), and sources from Assyria, Ugarith etc. are used.

1988a: “Sumer” (315 p., 1988). This is an overview of the Sumerian civilization with discussion of the economical system, the political and election system, occupational categories, family patterns etc. (I also have comments from assyrologist Aage Westenholz, Copenhagen, on this MS).

The project was presented in two lectures at the Norwegian Institute at Athens: “On focal dependency” (part of the “Gender and Greece” workshop, February 1990), and “Artemis – a sociological perspective on Greek religion”, open lecture, April 1991.

Historical publications

My first specifically historical-sociological paper was the 1982b paper on sexuality where I welcomed Foucault’s historically open view of sexuality while critisising him for not taking gender and its impact on sex seriously enough.

Some findings from the 1980s sociological-historical studies are discussed in these papers:

My historical work is discussed and applied also in the dr. philos thesis 1997e, the papers 1982b, 1984d, 1986c, 1991f, and others. I would not have been able to write cotemporary historical papers like “A theory of gendercide” without the historical studies.
